I have a specimen in my own collection determined by Dr. 

 Hartlauh as 0. ladoensis ; it is in the plumage of Drymoica curvi- 

 rostris, Sundev. For the determination of Z*. strangei, Fras., 1843, 

 and D. natnlensis, Smith, 1843, I would refer to the conclusions I 

 drew (Ibis, 1875, pp. 380, 381), which I still believe to be correct. 

 As the first names for this species were published in the same year, 

 1843, I select Fraser's as being the most applicable. 



29. CiSTicoLA LUGUBRis (Riipp.).

 Chlorocichla gracilirostris, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 1 14. 

 No. 697. $. Tingasi, July 1, 1883. 



This species was formerly only known from the west coast of 

 Africa. 



33. Phyllostrophus sharpii, Shelley. 



'^.Criniger strejjitans, Reichen. Orn. Centralbl. 1879, p. 139 

 (Malindi). 



Phyllostrephus sharpii, Shellev, Ibis, 1880, p. 334 (Dar-es- 

 Salaam); Hartl. Abhandl. nat. Ver. Brem. viii. 1882, p. 188. 



Phyllostrophus strepitans, Sharpe, Cat. B. Brit. Mus. vi. p. 117. 



Nos. 45, 59, 60, 96. S 2- Wadelai, Aug. 1885. 



This is certainly my P. sharpii, which Dr. Hartlaub considers to 

 be distinct from the P. strepitans (Reichen.), the type of which 

 species neither myself nor Mr. Sharpe have seen.
